There were quite a few attractions drawing visitors to the Inner Harbor today, including the opening of the temporary boardwalk extension, the opening and the naming of a new eatery (Clinton’s Dish) along with picnic tables, the unveiling of a passive beach, the delivery of numerous colorfully painted ‘sunset chairs’, activities with Explore and More Children’s Museum, a children’s puppet theatre by Franklin Lavoie, tours on the tall ship Pride of Baltimore and all of the rest of Buffalo Place programming that people have come to expect. It was amazing to see the large number of people enjoying the activities. Over the next few days there will be even more to see and do on the waterfront including:
